Mamadou Coulibaly

[Grezda Loyal]

19 year old central midfielder for Italian club Udinese. Just hearing today we are monitoring the boy. Not sure if we're interested in a loan deal, or possibly as a long term replacement option for Lassana. Thoughts?

 

[StaunchEnclosure]

Have we ever replaced a player with the same second name?

 

[Souness86]

Have we ever replaced a player with the same second name?

Ian Ferguson was effectively replaced by Barry Ferguson

 

[Walters80]

For me we should be looking at quality not quantity now, don't know much about the lad but at 19 he's probably far from the finished article and it's doubtful he would take us to the next level.

Would rather go for two quality players this window than 4 or 5 guys who are around the same level of what we have already.

We’ll struggle to buy finished articles in midfield mate. We’d need £5m+ and even that’s conservative.

Interested to see what the boy is like if we do sign him.

 

[Grezda Loyal]

Just a guess mate from me tbh mate. Might be planning to have the 2 Coulibalys in there? Think it would be a bit too strange if that was to happen however.

 

[Xavi Hernandez]

Have we ever replaced a player with the same second name?

Perhaps even rarer, replacing a first name with the same second name...

Kyle Lafferty...Kevin Kyle

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Good rumour.

Looks like that striker Celtic signed from Denmark five years ago who turned out to be rubbish and in his late fifties.

 

[StaunchGer54]

Any relation to lass?

 

[Smkz23]

Ian Ferguson was effectively replaced by Barry Ferguson

And you could argue Ian Ferguson effectively replaced Derek Ferguson.

Agree to an extent but I have faith the appropriate people are identifying targets that are worthwhile and they feel will have an impact both in the short and long term

 

[Ter]

Contracted to Udinese until 2022. Stories linking Juventus, Inter and Watford with moves for him before he joined Udinese.

Also looks a lot older than 19

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Nah too confusing.

That would %^*& my song for Lassana up

What a story the boy has

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Good rumour.

Mo Bangura

Turned out there was another Mo Bangura at AIK who was decent and they signed his Dad instead.

 

[Mjolnir]

And you could argue Ian Ferguson effectively replaced Derek Ferguson.

....but did Derek Ferguson originally replace Iain Ferguson??

He looks about 30!!!

Did we maybe do a Boli when we signed Lassana

 

[Degausser]

Have we ever replaced a player with the same second name?

Not us but Real Madrid replaced Mahamadou Diarra with Lassana Diarra.

 

[Scoot]

....but did Derek Ferguson originally replace Iain Ferguson??

...and did Iain Ferguson replace Eric Ferguson??

Obligatory YouTube clip

Why would Lassana be getting replaced?

 

[Andy_N]

We all dream of a team of coulibalys.

 

[acousticblue]

Sign up the two of them, it saves on song choice, the chant would be there's only 2 coulibalys

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Great range of passing looking at those clips

 

[Klaus]

I take it there is no substance to this rumour at all...

But as a long term signing it could represent much better value than pursuing lassana

 

[Diego Maradona]

Did we bring in the wrong one?

 

[minder]

....but did Derek Ferguson originally replace Iain Ferguson??

No but you could say he nearly replaced Eric Ferguson

 

[minder]

Why would Lassana be getting replaced?

Because he's only on loan maybe

 

[shortie_0809]

Because he's only on loan maybe

%^*& aye forgot he was on a loan

 

[GM_Punk]

Not a chance he’s 19

 

[minder]

%^*& aye forgot he was on a loan

I forget sometimes whose on loan or permanent

 

[Scooby]

Celtic were first to replace someone with anther player with similar.

They replaced Gary Caldwell with Raphael Scheidt.

We want to replace Lassana but can't afford to print new shirts

 

[Macca]

Why would Lassana be getting replaced?

He isn't doing the business!

 

[paddingtonbear]

there was another iain ferguson before the latter ian ferguson. that was era of eric, derek and iain if i recall....

 

[KentGer]

Have we ever replaced a player with the same second name?

sign

Maybe we should sign Souleymane Coulibaly from Partick and any others around too! There’s a Mohamed Aly Coulibaly who plays for Vaduz in Switzerland, and bending rules slightly Kalidou Koulibaly (with a K) from Napoli. Let’s go for a whole team and give commentators a nightmare

 

[Jamiegatami]

A Coulibaly and Coulibaly B?

 

[crmpicco]

Why would Lassana be getting replaced?

He's only on loan

 

[TexMexBear]

A Boli Lassana ? prefer mine on a plate,

There's a few Coulibalys out there, the more we can sign the better, get a whole fukin team of them with Alfie & Shagger either end ? ...

 

[Kowloon72]

And you could argue Ian Ferguson effectively replaced Derek Ferguson.

Ironically, Derek ended up replacing Jim Ferguson, my window cleaner in East Kilbride.

 

[Square and compass]

Ian Ferguson was effectively replaced by Barry Ferguson

A lot of fergusons over a 10 year period.
Derek and eric as well.

 

[Blue seventy two]

Mo Bangura

Turned out there was another Mo Bangura at AIK who was decent and they signed his Dad instead.

They also replaced Scheidt with..,..uch you know the rest.

 

[shortie_0809]

[Grigo Yossarian]

2 Ian’s, Derek, Eric & Barry.

 

[Gattuso72]

He can certainly spray it about.

What window? It's hard to sign quality in the January window and normally it costs a fortune so I cannot see that being the case.

If you meant the Summer then again not going to happen, we have 4 loan players in our starting 11 so that alone means another summer of multiple signings.

Plus, the finished article doesn't really come to Scotland either, young talented players are the way forward for us.

 

[Square and compass]

2 Ian’s, Derek, Eric & Barry.

Fair shout, forgot about the good looking ian ferguson.
Best game for us inter milan 84
